Wagner-Modified Houts Questionnaire

GREETINGS!
You are about to become involved in an exciting spiritual exercise. God has given
you one or more spiritual gifts if you are a Christian, and discovering that gift or gifts will
be a thrilling experience.
You will be asked to answer the 125 questions found in the Wagner “Modified
Houts Questionnaire.” This spiritual gifts discovery instrument was originally suggested
by Dr. Richard F. Houts, a professor in the North American Baptist Theological
Seminary, in 1976. Subsequently it has been modified by C. Peter Wagner of the Charles
E. Fuller Institute of Evangelism and Church Growth., and keyed in to his classic book,
Your Spiritual Gifts Can Help Your Church Grow, now the best selling book in the field
of spiritual gifts. The copy you have in your hand is the fifth edition and the first
complete revision of the original published version.
Thousands and thousands of believers have been blessed by taking the Modified
Houts Questionnaire. Constant feedback from them has enabled us to refine it to the point
where it will give you a fairly accurate picture of what kind of ministry God expects you
to be carrying out in your group of believers.
However, do not regard the results of this test as final. The three or four gifts you
score highest in may or may not be your spiritual gifts. But you can be sure in any case
that they are a starting point for prayer and experimentation. You will need other
members of the body of Christ to help you confirm what gifts you have.
An excellent use of this questionnaire is to fill it in as part of the “Spiritual Gifts
Discovery Workshop” offered by the Fuller Institute. A pastor or teacher in your church
can administer this workshop, and the Fuller Institute provides all instructional materials
needed by both teacher and participant.

Note: What this questionnaire calls exorcism should biblically, properly, be referred to as
deliverance ministry. The ability to stand in God’s name and in His place of authority and
to declare that any and all demons or demonic forces affecting a person, situation, or
possession be cast out into the deepest sea never to return. That as the person with this
gift stands in Jesus place of authority the demonic force(s) must obey.
